The Heritage Shoe that Started It All. This is the Authentic—Since 1966.
The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, this time-honored shoe keeps the old school vibe alive with a classic suede upper while adding in an exaggerated Sherpa collar for cozy comfort. With its classic low-top design and iconic rubber waffle outsole, the Authentic Sherpa is a blank canvas for creativity that allows you to do your thing in your own unique way.
